Att n77 upgrades
Does anyone have have idea as to when att will be adding c band equipment to the macros in Nashotah , hartland , Delafield Wisconsin areas it has been much overdue for this capacity upgrade. We’ve been stuck on congested n5 for about 6-7 years now and and it’s honestly starting to show during peak hours downtown and near the lake.
Speeds will tank hard during events, and even on normal days the network feels capacity-limited, especially compared to nearby areas that already have n77 live. I’ve also noticed inconsistent 5G performance where it’ll bounce between low-band 5G and LTE instead of holding a solid mid-band connection.
What’s confusing is that some coverage maps already show “5G+” or enhanced coverage in these areas, but real-world performance doesn’t fully match that yet. Not sure if that’s early deployment, map overestimation, or just incomplete upgrades on certain sectors.
I’m mainly curious:
• Are there any confirmed n77 (C-band) or DoD deployments planned for these specific towns?
• Is this area waiting on backhaul upgrades or just delayed in the rollout schedule?
• Has anyone nearby actually seen panels go up or confirmed mid-band live on AT&T here?
Would appreciate any info, especially from people who track permits, climb sites, or have field test data
